Studies show that over 70% of future jobs will require STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills. Engineering activities provide students with a robust learning experience that will allow them to design, make, collaborate, inquire, and solve real-word problems in hands-on tasks and experiences. Welcome to the Engineering for Your Classroom (EFYC) online course for educators! This course is designed primarily for grades 4–9 educators including classroom teachers, teacher candidates and administrators, but can be useful for anyone who wants to gain knowledge about teaching STEM. It is open to all levels, from beginners to professionals. The course aims to provide educators with the necessary knowledge, skills and resources to incorporate engineering into the classroom or other educational settings.

Can I take these courses if I don't teach in BC?

Of course! Anyone can sign up for these courses. Our courses will reference BC's curriculum throughout; however, you could modify the activities to fit your local curriculum.

Depending on the course, you will be asked to complete some activities using simple materials you likely already have at home such as cardboard, popsicle sticks, and elastics. Alternate material suggestions will always be provided.
